Buenos Aires changed me. I came to improve my Spanish and I left having found myself.
I decided to take a risk and choose Argentina — and it was the best choice I ever made. After learning so much Spanish and making many new friends, I can confidently say that I feel prepared to live here for the next five months and continue immersing myself in Argentine society.
What I miss the most is how much of an adventure and opportunity every day in Buenos Aires became. Whether we had class or not, every day was a day to learn, spend time with wonderful people, and see something I never had before. Every day in Buenos Aires was unique and exciting.
I love the environment in Expanish created by the people working there, everyone was very sweet and welcoming, they were very approachable and kind! I loved coming to expanish after class to eat or do homework and watching TSITP is definitely a core memory!
